The Airbus Factories; Toulouse, May 29, 2010

Le Tour de France 2010 Part 1; Text and Photograph's by Alex van Noye

During my trip through the southern part of France, I visited next to Dax, Cazaux and Cognac several other locations. This gallery contains a summary of all these pictures. The journey began at Pau, where I took some pictures of several gate guards. In the afternoon I went to Tarbes for a short visit. The EC145 of the Gendarmerie is based at this small airfield. The highlight of the day was definitely the visit to Toulouse. Here I had for the first time the opportunity to catch the Beluga of the Airbus Company. This big plane came in for landing when I stood at the runway for some pictures of the Patrouille de France with their Alpha-Jets.
